Quoting Taser Chief Tom Smith about lives lost

Tom Smith, 12 May 2008:

Tasers save 70 lives for every life lost.

The argument du jour isn't about the 70-to-1 ratio, we can argue about the 70 later.

It's the devastating admission by Taser International's head that the "1" (as in "70-to-1") is NOT ZERO.

Yes, he accidentally admitted that the lethal downside of taser use is non-zero.

Compare with Taser lawyer Neave's outrageous claim in BC Supreme Court that ZERO deaths can be fairly attributed to taser use.

Discrepancies like these tend to surface, ah, in these circumstances.
